Smith and Warner have stepped down as captain and vice captain for the remainder of the test. Surely, a lengthy ban is the least they can expect? The 'leadership team' must be named and shamed but obviously includes those two, plus Bancroft, and all need to face punishment.

I've been laughing all weekend. This is the best thing to happen in cricket for a long time, as the Aussies will finally be put in line. They've been a law unto themselves for the last few years. The only shame is no life ban for Warner. Yet.

Wouldn't at all surprise me. The best thing I saw over the weekend was Dominic Cork going off on one about Darren Lehmann putting in an official complaint about the fan that "abused" Warner. He was being asked about the whole Australia situation and was getting more and more irate, then mentioned Lehmann and looked straight down the camera and said something along the lines of "really? REALLY? Have you ever been to the MCG, as an Englishman, and had to put up with the level of abuse we get in the field all day long" before having a nice rant about hypocrisy. At the time I, nor he obviously, forgot about Lehmann calling for the Aussie fans to abuse Stuart Broad as much as they could during the Ashes.

And Michael Vaughan on twitter and facebook has been having an absolute field day. Even had a spat with Warner's wife. He said something about the abuse and Warner should get over it, she replied with "so you'd condone someone abusing your wife and kids then?" To which Vaughan replied "No, but maybe you should look a little bit closer to home as to why there is abuse". It's been brilliant.

LOL. F*ck Lehmann.

I still remember the awesome Benson and Hedges Cup semi-final vs Yorkshire when Glos and Jack made an absolute pillock of Lehmann.

Here is a narrative including Jack's description:

"There was a superb example of this harassing in the B&H semi-final, when Yorkshire's key player, Darren Lehmann, was freakishly run out. 'One of the guys hurled the ball back at me - quite legitimately - after Lehmann had played a shot and he had to sway to get out of the way,' Russell said. 'That riled him a little. Two overs later he cracked the ball straight to mid-off, who threw it back to me. He was still thinking about the previous incident and stood there in macho style, taunting us.' The trouble for Lehmann was that he was still five inches out of his crease at the time and Russell whipped off the bails - the match-winning moment."
